The people, says the Valley Farmer, have an "inalienable right" to the best men for their public officers. If BO, they have the right also of private judgment of the fitness of men for office--the right of their own opinion concerning candidates for office--the right of choice between candidates, the right of the expression and sup­ port of their own preferences. If they have the right to the best, men, they have the right to the use of ail honor­ able means to promote the election of such men. They have the right to stand fast and "solid" for the men of their choice, and against the men tvhom they deem less qualified and who will not so well serve the public Interest. And this right they possess without the privilege of questioning or impugning their motives from any quarter whatsoever. Nor does It be­ hove any respectable citizen to impute dishonorable motives to those who en­ deavor to defeat the purposes of such aspirants, fuglers and wire-pullers as set up men after their own hearts and attempt to foist them'before the peo­ ple, for election to offices for which their chief qualification is unbounded conceit and unsatiable cupidity. Now to abridge the exercise of this pri­ mary and inalienable right, and to practically deprive the people of It. and to compel them to vote without the slightest regard to the fitness of men for office--simply as the actual tools of others without the slightest exercise of their own convictions, there is a powerful tendency in the customary order of doing things in caucuses and conventions. Greedy as­ pirants, unprincipled demagogues, sycophantic fnglers, servile and expert wire-workers are ever forming combi­ nations for their own purposes, wholly regardless of the true welfare of the people, and without the least shadow of respect to the fitness of candidates for office. They are ever fluttering around among the people, like "devil's darning needles'* in a summer's day, lighting hire and thpro, without the least regard to auythlug but a momen­ tary attraction for a particular object. It behoves the. people, therefore, who would preserve the rights and liber­ ties of freeman, and who would have for thvir public officers, men fit to be nominated and fit to be elccted, to take good heed to the matter of po­ litical nominations and elections. AN UMfOKTUMATK DILKMMA, A few months since, in one of the northern departments of France,a gen tie man was elected a depntv, mainly through the Influence of a friend who was the uncle of the opposing candl date. A few Weeks after the election the aforesaid uncle hung himself, and as he had been a free thinker and an opponent of the clergy, Christain bur­ ial was refused upon the ground that he had taken his own life. The deputy anxious to render some acknowledg ment for political services, hurried to the doctor, and by persuasion and promises induced the easy M. D. to|as- sert that the uncle had committed suicide while laboring under a fit of insanity, and In his opinion, the doc­ tor added, the uncle had not been himself for months. The priest ac­ cepted the assurances of the doctor that the man was not responsible for his own acts and gave him interment The day after the burial the will M'ais opened, when it appeared that the deputy was made the heir to all his property, but before he had time to recover from his surprise, the nephew who had been defeated and disinheri­ ted put in a protest that the will was of recent date and as it had been shown that his uncle had been won compos for months, the document was with­ out efleet. The deputy appears to be fn a tight place, and the lawyers are now at work on both sides to see how little they can leave of the estate to the contestants. A PICXUKK. An old fogy exchange takes the students of our colleges to task for paying so much attention to boating and other sports. We have in our mind a picture, and we venture to as­ sert it is of that editor: A dingy room strewn with books and papers. I-n one corner, crouched down over a table, a man, (or what might have been a man had lie indulged in '•sports") doubled out of recognition, with his head drawn, mud-turtle fashion, between.his shoul­ ders, his back lifted so high as to touch his hat rim, his eyes punched back into his bead until they resemble ttvvocv.urnti!i ~!"s!n ; a/ b!.nachcd v nrtny blanket, and his cheek hones st anding out -like coat hooks, tin's the creature who doesn't want the y oung man to Indulge in God's air and manful exer­ cise. Poor thing! The insane asy- lumns are full of wore complete men than he. He woufd make a good sign for a vender of patent dyspepsia cure, (he should be labelled "Before Using' and yet he flatters himself, a healthy mind may be found in many a used-up body. If we admit it (just to make him tolerate himself) how will he an­ swer the question: tOf what use Is It to humanity ?--Aurora Ncwsl TI1K TK A MP. Mr. Ed. Buckridge, of Belolt, Is evi­ dently the most successful pedestrian this side of Chicago, and it is believed that none in that ei ty. sav$ O'Leary, can walk with him. Last week he sent out a challenge that he would walk 115 miles against two men who would only have to walk 57} miles each. But there beiug no acceptance he started on his jouruey which he was sanguine of accomplishing in 27 hours. The re­ sult of the walk is given in the follow­ ing extract which we take from the Belolt Daity Record: In our Saturday's issue we left our pedestrian on the traok with about 66 miles completed; from 2 until 5 he put iu some fast walking, and then again took^a rest; at 6 he again iVent on the track atid from that time on done some of the'best walking that was ever dbne iu this city. Iu one hour and seven miuutes he made 7 miles, and during the evening he had those who were following him on the run most of the time. He finished his last mile in 12 minutes nud completed his 115 miles iu 2G hours and 54 minutes. 6 minutes ahead of time. His limbs were con­ siderably chaffed, but otherwise he was in good condition, and is now willing to have any one accept the challenge he lias offered. A NOBMC I>KK/tH The following Eg taken from the Roscoe Hems In last week's Rock too Herald; Loren Crosby saved the railroad com­ pany a great loss, and probably many lives, one night last week. He was »p te Belolt and mimed the train home, but started about nine o'clock at wlglit to walk to Roscoe by way of the rail road. When he reached the bridge across the Dry Run, near Mr. h. B Dodge's, he found It to bet on fire. He was afraid to leave the bridge to ga­ tor help, for fear some train might come along and run into the firv. He did the best he could to put out the flre by bringing water In his hat, but made little progress in that direction; so he gathered chips and sticks and made a fire on the traok. to be used as a signal for the next train that would pass. When the midnight train from the East put in an appearance, he seized a brand and started* to meet it. The train stopped in time to prevent an accident, but had it gone Into the creek, there would have been a fear­ ful loss of life, as titers were on board, three car loads of soldiers, besides the regular passenger train. Crosby says he don*t care for anothersuch job, as It was a harder strain on his nerves than week's work. The company have notified him to meet their claim agent at the depot. 16?* A strange fatality prevails among the fish of Rock and Pecatonica rivers. Hundreds of dead> ones are floating on the surface of the water, and at Rockford they have been for some days pouring through the city.1-- They vary in sl*e Yrom a small red- horse to a mammoth sturgeon, one of the latter being found to weigh one hundred and fifty pounds, and measure nearly eight feet id length. No game fish are among the dead ones. The health officers • qf Rockford feared a pestilence, and have b°en engaged in cleaning the river. So far over twen­ ty boat-loads have been disposed of, and reports from Pecatonica state that millions of dead and rotten fish are in the sloughs and flats uear the Peca­ tonica river. Farmers are utilizing them for fertilizing purposes. One of the canses given for the strange epi­ demic Is that "the fish have fed on the decayed and putrid vegetation which the high water and hoc weather l^ave made rotjten and poisonous.*' If that is the cause why may not the Fox be similarly pestered some time? It seems as if some other theory must be provided. ^ Candid thoughts are always valuable so is Uncle 8am's Gondii ion Po wder for all anUuiJs. Sold by all Druggists. THK BANKKUPT LAW, As the National Bankrupt law ex­ pires within about a month, aud debt- Mors and creditors v» !l| after that have to depeud upon State courts for Ihe aJju^m.cnt of their difficulties, thi Legal News calls attention to Hie Ill­ inois I nv which lfgulates the manner of making voluntary assignments, and does away with the power of the debt­ or to prefer one creditor over another. The County Court has power to con­ trol the conduct of the assignee in mak­ ing sales Of the debtor's property, and to remove him. Tills law will, to some extent, take the place of the Bankrupt law in this State, and will undoubtedly transfer a large amount of business to the local tribunals.--Chicago Journal. An awkward, but somewhat amusing case to everybody but the parties immediately interested, is re­ ported from Farmington, Fulton coun­ ty, ill. There was an election for Po­ lice Magistrate there on the 15th Inst. The eminent respectables took no in­ terest in the same, so thc,.bummers, for a joke, elected^ne^^Thomas Fountain, who is just out of jail. Now, these In­ fluential citizen who didn't vote, ask the Governor if he will withhold the commission of a bummer's choice If a majority of the citizens of town will address him a remonstrance. The Gov­ ernor does not see how he can In tor- fere, and will probably intimate to the citizens of Farmington that they will have to put up with the jail bird mag­ istrate.

He was a stone mason by trade, and operated all over the coun­ try. " About the time Dewey's Bank tailed, I met him at a little gathering In Mecklenburg. After shaking hands he took me one side, saying he desired to ask me a question. 'Now, Governor said he, 'this is a matter of a little* delicacy, and you are at liberty to an- swet it or not. I wish to know If McAden's Bank isgoiug to have any trouble ?"• Assuming an air of deep meditation the Governor replied, *Yes; I have no hesitation In telling you that I know it is going to have trouble.' "Hang my Ittck P* replied the Stone mason, "J knew something was wrong. I never put a cent in a bank in my life but what I was swindled!" *'Hold," said the Governor, without relaxing one Itne in his masked fea­ tures. "What I allude tc is this; they have my note in that bank for $2,500, and they'll have a darned sight of trouble getting the money.11 The Majority Kales In Kansas. Judge Parks of Aurora IU., who re­ cently spent some time In the south­ eastern part of that State tells of be­ ing present at a trial before a justice of the peace which was disposed of In rather a summary way. After the plaintifl had submitted his evidence the defendant's lawyer arose and, after stating that the plaintiff had not made out a «ase that entitled Mm to recov- «ry>ald: "Therefore, your, honor I move to 3!smiss this case.1' Whereup­ on °ome uneasy or mischelvcus by­ standers in the fui&hcr corner of <the room, responded: "I second that mo­ tion ;' upon which the justice, in a somewhat doubting manner proceeded and put the motion of dismissal to a vote of the assembled erowd, which wa& carried by quite an unanimous vote. Says the justice: "The ayes have it, and this suit is dismissed." tGTAn exchange says that some folks complain of low Wages this year. onlyftl\>er day. Well, friends, one dollar per day is better than lying Idle waiting for larger wages. If you don't make much clear money 'tis far better than to lounge about doing nothing, and be looked upon as a lazy, shiftless fellow. Take hold of the first job that comes along, and keep your eyes open for something better. The country is full of men who would be glad to get work at almost any price, and if you continue so particular you may see the day when work at any price will be a great boon for you. Big wages is a rare article in this country for common labor. WASjVUfdTOM CORRlSPOKAig(ci| ̂ WAsnnroTow, v. July Wth .. Themis absolutely nothing trans.- piing fn Washington worth writing abofft.
